Picnic06-Biante15 Supersonic March 27, 2013 Author Share March 27, 2013 found the report ... from ST: More COEs next year, free train rides not decided: Lui Transport Minister Lui Tuck Yew has advised aspiring car owners to wait till next year when the supply of Certificates of Entitlement (COE) increases. But he also stressed that the Government is doing its utmost to make public transport as convenient as possible. During Channel NewsAsia's Ask Minister programme, which was broadcast on Tuesday, Mr Lui took questions on a broad range of transport issues, from free trains rides to making roads safer for cyclists. In the last bidding exercise, COEs for smaller cars cost nearly $17,000 more than the premium for cars above 1,600cc. Mr Lui said it will take several bidding cycles over the next few months before COE premiums stabilise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picnic06-Biante15 Supersonic March 27, 2013 Author Share March 27, 2013 (edited) quote : his advice : DEFER PURCHASE For those who want to own a car now, I would advise that if they can defer the decision till a little bit later on, when the COE supply actually picks up in 2014, that may be a better time to revisit the situation then. - Transport Minister Lui Tuck Yew "unquote" http://www.straitstimes.com/breaking-news/...ed-lui-20130327 Edited March 27, 2013 by Picnic06 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kangadrool Supersonic March 27, 2013 Share March 27, 2013 If more buyers are united, stopped buying inflated 2nd hand cars from dealers, they will have no choice but to export/scrap them, furthering the process of freeing up more COE. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With so many good brains behind them, I have faith that the authorities already knew about the loophole when they implement the curb. Now waiting for phase II....
